AMPHIBIANS ARE COMING!

The emergence of the 'Gator Navy and its revolutionary landing craft". A history of the World War II landing craft and the men who manned them, and profiles the famed "Green Dragons", the high-speed destroyer transports that filled a pressing Marine Corps need for ship-to-shore delivery prior to the availability of the new landing craft. The book focuses on the "Early bird" Flotilla Five LCTs, LSTs and LCIs, from design and construction, to on-the-job warfare training in the Southern Solomons, in preparation for their first invasion of enemy-held territory, Operation Toenail.
